1 Ezrahite Ethan ih Maskil. Angraeng palungnathaih to dungzan khoek to laa ah ka sak han; na oepthohhaih to kaminawk boih khaeah ka pakha hoi roe ka thuih han.
“A psalm of Ethan, the Ezrahite.” I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever; With my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations!
2 Palungnathaih loe dungzan khoek to caak tih; vannawk boih nuiah na oepthohhaih to na caksak tih.
For I know that thy mercy endureth for ever; Thou hast established thy truth like the heavens.
3 Ka qoih ih kami hoiah lokmaihaih to ka sak moe, ka tamna David khaeah lokmaihaih to ka sak boeh,
“I have made a covenant with my chosen; I have sworn to David, my servant:
4 na tii to dungzan khoek to ka caksak moe, na caanawk ih adung khoek to na angraeng tangkhang to ka caksak han, tiah na thuih. (Selah)
Thy family I will establish for ever, And build up thy throne to all generations.” (Pause)
5 Aw Angraeng, na sak ih dawnrai hmuennawk to vannawk mah saphaw o ueloe, na oepthohhaih doeh kaciim kaminawk amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah saphaw o tih.
The heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD! And the assembly of the holy ones thy truth!
6 Van ah Angraeng hoi patah han koi mi maw kaom? Thacak kami ih capanawk thungah Angraeng baktiah mi maw kaom?
Who in the heavens can be compared to Jehovah? Who is like Jehovah among the sons of God?
7 Kaciim kaminawk amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah loe Angraeng to paroeai zit o; anih loe ataeng ah kaom kaminawk pongah khingya paek han koi ah oh.
A God greatly to be feared in the assembly of the holy ones, And to be had in reverence above all who are around him?
8 Aw misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng Sithaw, nang baktih thacak Angraeng mi maw om tih? Na oepthohhaih mah nang to ang takui.
O Jehovah, God of hosts! Who is mighty like thee, O Jehovah? And thy faithfulness is round about thee.
9 Nang mah tuipui to na uk; tuiphu angthawk tahang naah, tuiphu to na dipsak.
Thou rulest the raging of the sea; When the waves thereof rise, thou stillest them!
10 Hum ih kami baktiah, Rahab to na taprawt pet pet moe, na ban thacakhaih hoiah na misanawk to na vah phaeng.
Thou didst break Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; Thou didst scatter thine enemies with thy mighty arm.
11 Vannawk loe nang ih hmuen ah oh o, long doeh nang ih ni; long hoi athung ah kaom hmuennawk boih loe, nang mah ni na sak.
The heavens are thine; thine also is the earth; The world and all that is therein, thou didst found them.
12 Aluek hoi aloih to na sak; Tarbo hoi Hermon loe na hmin rang hoiah anghoe tih.
The North and the South were created by thee; Tabor and Hermon rejoice in thy name.
13 Na ban loe thacakhaih hoiah koi; na ban loe thacak moe, na bantang ban loe sang.
Thine is a mighty arm; Strong is thy hand, and high thy right hand.
14 Katoengah lokcaekhaih hoi toenghaih loe na angraeng tangkhang ohhaih ahmuen ah oh; tahmenhaih hoi loktang loe na hmaa ah caeh tih.
Justice and equity are the foundation of thy throne; Mercy and truth go before thy face.
15 Anghoehaih lok panoek kaminawk loe tahamhoih! Aw Angraeng, nihcae loe na hmaa ah aanghaih hoiah caeh o.
Happy the people that know the trumpet's sound! They walk, O LORD! in the light of thy countenance;
16 Nihcae loe na hmin rang hoiah ni thokkruek anghoe o; na toenghaih rang hoiah ni nihcae mah pakoeh o.
In thy name they daily rejoice, And in thy righteousness they glory!
17 Nang loe nihcae lensawkhaih hoi thacakhaih ah na oh; nang tahmenhaih rang hoiah ni kaicae ih taki loe pakoeh ah oh.
For thou art the glory of their strength; Yea, through thy favor our horn exalteth itself!
18 Kaicae abuephaih loe Angraeng ih ni; Ciimcai Israelnawk ih kami loe kaicae ih siangpahrang ah oh.
For from Jehovah is our shield, And from the Holy One of Israel is our king.
19 Hnuksakhaih hoiah nangmah ih kaciim kami khaeah lok na thuih; thacak kami abomh hanah kang paek boeh; kaminawk thung hoi qoih ih kami maeto ka sangsak boeh.
Once thou spakest in a vision to thy holy one, And saidst, —”I have laid help on one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen from the people;
20 Ka tamna David to ka hnuk boeh; anih loe kaciim kaimah ih situi hoiah ka bawh boeh,
I have found David, my servant; With my holy oil have I anointed him.
21 anih nuiah ka ban thacak tih; ka ban tampawk hoiah anih tha ka caksak han.
With him shall my hand be established, And my arm shall strengthen him.
22 Misa mah anih ih hmuen to lomh pae mak ai; kasae kami ih ca mah doeh anih to pacaekthlaek mak ai.
The enemy shall not have power over him, Nor shall the unrighteous man oppress him.
23 Anih hmaa ah a misanawk to ka boh pae moe, anih hnuma kaminawk to raihaih ka paek han.
For I will beat down his foes before him, And overthrow them that hate him.
24 Ka oepthohhaih hoi ka palungnathaih anih khaeah om ueloe, ka hmin rang hoiah anih ih taki to pakoeh tih.
My faithfulness and mercy shall be with him, And through my name shall his horn be exalted.
25 Anih ih ban loe tuipui nuiah ka suek pae moe, a bantang ban to vapuinawk nuiah ka koeng pae han.
I will extend his hand to the sea, And his right hand to the rivers.
26 Anih mah, Nang loe kam pa, ka Sithaw, ka pahlonghaih lungsong, tiah na kawk tih.
He shall say to me, 'Thou art my father, My God, and the rock of my salvation!'
27 Anih to long siangpahrangnawk pongah sang kue, anih to ka calu ah ka suek han.
I will also make him my first-born, Highest of the kings of the earth.
28 Anih hanah ka palungnathaih dungzan khoek to ka suek han; ka lokmaihaih loe a nuiah cak poe tih.
My mercy I will continue to him for ever; My covenant with him shall be steadfast.
29 Anih ih atii to dungzan khoek to ka caksak moe, van oh nathung anih anghnuthaih angraeng tangkhang to ka caksak poe han.
I will make his family to endure for ever; And his throne shall be as lasting as the heavens.
30 A caanawk mah ka paek ih kaalok caeh o taak moe, ka lokcaekhaih baktiah caeh o ai ah,
Should his children forsake my law, And walk not in my statutes,
31 ka thuih ih loknawk to aek o moe, ka paek ih loknawk to pazui o ai nahaeloe,
Should they break my commandments, And observe not my precepts,
32 a sakpazaehaihnawk pongah thingboeng hoiah ka thuitaek moe, a sakpazae o haih baktih toengah dan ka paek han.
I will punish their transgressions with a rod, And their iniquity with stripes.
33 Toe kai ih tahmen amlunghaih to anih khae hoiah ka la pae ving mak ai, ka oepthohhaih doeh kam rosak mak ai.
But my kindness will I not withdraw from him, Nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
34 Ka sak ih lokmaihaih to kam rosak mak ai, pakha hoi ka thuih ih lok doeh kam khraisak mak ai.
I will not break my covenant, Nor alter what hath gone from my lips.
35 David khaeah lok kam lai mak ai, tiah ka ciimhaih hoi vaito ka khawt ah lok ka kam boeh.
Once have I sworn in my holiness, That I will not be false unto David.
36 Anih ih atii loe cak poe ueloe, anih ih angraeng tangkhang loe ka hmaa ih ni baktiah om tih.
His family shall endure for ever, And his throne as the sun before me.
37 Khrah baktiah cak poe ueloe, van ih oepthok hnukung baktiah om tih. (Selah)
It shall be established for ever like the moon; Like the faithful witness in the sky.”
38 Toe nang mah nang pahnawt sut boeh moe, nang panuet boeh, situi na bawh ih kami nuiah palung na phui boeh.
But now thou forsakest and abhorrest, And art angry with, thine anointed.
39 Na tamna hoiah sak ih lokmaihaih to na pahnawt sut boeh moe, anih ih angraeng lumuek to panuet kaom long ah na vah pae ving boeh.
Thou hast made void the covenant with thy servant; Thou hast cast his crown to the ground.
40 Anih ih sipaenawk to na phraek pae boih boeh; anih ih kacak sipaenawk doeh nam rosak boeh.
Thou hast broken down all his hedges; Thou hast brought his strongholds to ruin.
41 Loklam ah caeh kaminawk mah anih to lomh o; anih loe ataeng ah kaom kaminawk kasaethuih han koi ah oh.
All who pass by plunder him; He is a reproach to his neighbors.
42 A misanawk ih bantang ban to na toengh pae tahang; a misanawk boih to nang hoesak boeh.
Thou hast lifted up the right hand of his enemies; Thou hast made all his adversaries to rejoice.
43 Anih ih sumsen haa to na paqoi pae ving boeh; anih misatuk naah nang doe haih ai boeh.
Yea, thou hast turned the edge of his sword, And made him unable to stand in battle.
44 A lensawkhaih to na boengsak moe, anih ih angraeng tangkhang to long ah na vah pae ving boeh.
Thou hast brought his glory to an end, And hast cast down his throne to the ground.
45 A qoeng li naah aninawk to na duemsak; azathaih hoiah anih to na khuk khoep boeh. (Selah)
Thou hast shortened the days of his youth; Thou hast covered him with shame.
46 Nasetto maw? Aw Angraeng, nang hawk poe han boeh maw? Palung na phuihaih hmai baktiah kangh tih maw?
How long, O LORD! wilt thou hide thyself for ever? How long shall thine anger burn like fire?
47 Ka hinghaih loe nasetto maw duemh, tito panoek ah; na sak ih kaminawk loe azom pui ah ni oh o.
Remember how short is my life, To what frailty thou hast created all men!
48 Kawbaktih kami maw duekhaih tongh ai ah hing thaih? Anih loe taprong thacakhaih thung hoiah a hinghaih pahlong thai tih maw? (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
What man liveth, and seeth not death? Who can deliver himself from the underworld? (Sheol h7585)
49 Aw Angraeng, loktang lok hoiah na tamna David khaeah na sak ih lokmaihaih hoi canghnii ih na tahmenhaih to naah maw oh ving boeh?
Where, Lord, is thy former loving-kindness Which thou didst swear to David in thy truth?
50 Angraeng, na tamnanawk pahnuithuihhaih to pakuem poe ah; thacak kaminawk boih mah kasaethuihaih to palung thung hoi kawbang maw ka pauep, tito panoek ah,
Remember, O Lord! the reproach of thy servants, How I bear in my bosom the taunts of all the many nations,
51 Aw Angraeng, na misanawk mah kasae a thuih o; nihcae loe nangmah na caksak kami ih khok tangkannawk to pahnui o thuih boeh.
With which thine enemies have reproached me, O LORD! With which they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed!
52 Angraeng khaeah tahamhoihaih dungzan khoek to om nasoe! Amen hoi Amen.
[Praised be Jehovah for ever! Amen, yea, amen!]
